You havn't provided enough information.

   1. Where is the compiler? On Linux? Or on NT?
   2. Where are the source files really? (see below)

There seems to be a discrepancy: first you say "Ada files on NT"
and later you say the files are located on "SAMBA UNIX filesystem."
Where are the Ada files really?

If you have NFS access, how do the file access times compare with
NFS?

I can't help anyway, but can offer you my own observations, using
SAMBA:

  - From Windows 98, accessing files on FreeBSD SAMBA is reasonable
    (a little slower than NFS)
  - From Windows 2000, accessing files on FreeBSD SAMBA can be
    dreadfully slow (there seems to be an authentication timeout
    occurring -- once past this, the times are comparable to win98).

I may have win2k configuration problems WRT to SAMBA.

But I suggest that to get better help, you need to be much more
concise, and fully state the problem.
